The NJCAA has long been a great springboard for football talent to make the leap to the next level in college, and in some cases, pro football.

Iowa Western Community College down the road in Council Bluffs, has been a power in the JUCO ranks since beginning its program back in 2009.

Since that debut season, the Reiver program has finished every season but two in the final rankings, often in the Top 10.

The talent and pedigree of the program is evident, and they've sent countless alumni on to the next level of college or pro football.

This past weekend, the program had six alumni drafted. That is double the amount that Nebraska, Iowa State, and Minnesota combined to send to the NFL via the draft.

Here's a look at who all made the leap in the draft that once suited up for the Reivers, per NJCAA.org:
